EvilWhiteMale said: Prince isn't into balance anymore. Maybe he's not really comfortable around a lot of white folks, especially not in the band.
----- Good Lord !!! I guess no one remembers that the extras in the video were music club members. Maybe white people did not want to fork over the club member fee. LOL. | |

He's not talking about white folks! He's referring to Satan having the ability to make himself appear as an angel of light. Goodness, people. | |

I'm white and i didn't even notice. All i know is that the song ain't that hot! As for colour i will never see Prince as a black artist. I guess he just makes you forget about all that shit. | |

Me neither. Renato is black? Technically no...but whites that speak portugues or spanish get a "free pass to the revolution" card.... btw: Prince is none to fond of gays either... [Edited 1/27/05 8:15am] | |

Goodness, people. try again dude.... how about this little gem-taken from "muse 2 the pharaoh"- "...but when all truth is told,would u rather b dead or b sold? sold 2 the one who can now mate the displaced bloodline with the white jailbate"... try gettin' out of that one. | |

Wow.  Wow. Yeah, this has got to be the first thread I read completely. I don't know if I am amused or sadden. Hell, lets be honest. This is a funny thread.  _________________________________________

Ya know, I don't think I ever noticed before. He was probably just going for the retro theme in the vid, so I guess it would've made sense to just have black people appear. 
Of course, it can't be ignored that he's said some questionable shit in the last few years.  "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

There's nothing to get out of. Look at the next line of the song: "thinkin' like the keys on Prince's piano will be just fine". Look at the song as a whole. You're isolating lines and taking them out of context. How 'bout you try again, dude. | |

what is this thread about? when did it become a dissection of odyssey miles' character? how did he become the guardian of racial sensitivities on the org? i'm confused. 
maybe this is a discussion better carried out in orgnotes, unless it can be applied to the topic at hand in this thread? | |

As far as Dex is concerned, he is entitled to his opinion. If that is all he has seen, then what do you expect him to say? Each person's experiences are different. It's not up to Odyssey to play Org moral policeman. | |

maybe this is a discussion better carried out in orgnotes, unless it can be applied to the topic at hand in this thread? i apologize. i'm protesting miles' post as the cumulative result of my interaction with him in the P&R forum, on topics related to the race issue. perhaps i should simply report the threads in question to the moderators and let them lock that shit down. i've been waiting, to see who would step up and object to the stereotyping that's occuring, who would decry the white-bashing. no one really is. none of our usual champions of the christian ethic have weighed in against it. i've never been so disgusted with the quality of the people here at the ORG before sorry anxiety. i'll shut up now.

Geez 
Ok I just watched the video, seems like there are white people 1. In the front row of the audience. 2. Throughout the audience 3. Dancing on stage 4. playing in the band So what's the problem again? Is there some WP quota that Prince didn't meet? | |
